Gather Workshop: My Business and Soul Rejuvenated

8/8/2015

Y'all, you HAVE to attend this workshop!!! If your business needs a kickstart or restart, you will be a better boss lady for it and leave with some new, amazing, creative friends... or tribe in my case.

Several months ago I stumbled upon (after stalking some of my favorite local creative women) a post on Instagram with a simple but profound message, "The grass is greener where you water it". I want to always strive to better myself, my business and the way I serve my clients, and it just seemed that all of those areas of my life needed some watering. I wondered if I should attend a photography specific workshop or try out a workshop with a broader scope of talents. Kaitie Bryant answered my lengthy e-mails and assured me I would have the best of both worlds with the chance to learn from and with other photographers and other women from different creative industries. Wedding season hit HARD and making a decision on whether to attend got pushed to the back burner of priorities. After a few weeks I get an email from Mattie Tiegreen saying there was one spot left. Hitting "purchase" was the best thing I could have ever done for my business and my soul! The Gather Workshop covers so many different aspects of living life as a small biz CEO: marketing, finance, burnout, comparison, social media and so much more. Every industry has its own struggles and obstacles and I now have the tools to approach my business in so many ways. Each and every speaker spoke from the heart and bared so many parts of their soul that most people (usually with social media) gloss over. I am so so grateful to Haley, Britt, Shanna, Carrie Jo, and the two incredible pioneers of Gather. This incredible experience and collaboration of some AWESOME boss ladies would not have been possible without the vision of two amazing, creative, authentic, hilarious, and driven women. Kaitie and Mattie - thank you from the bottom of my heart for having the vision and passion to pursue a dream of community over competition and inspiring other amazing, talented women to grow their business successfully!
